16. The God of Abraham Praise

1 The God of Abraham praise,
who reigns enthroned above;
the ancient of eternal days,
the God of love!
The Lord, the great I Am,
by earth and heaven confessed,
we bow before your holy name,
forever blest.

2 Your Spirit still flows free,
high surging where it will;
in prophet's word you spoke
of old and you speak still.
Established is your law,
and changeless it shall stand,
deep writ upon the human heart,
on sea or land.

3 You have eternal life
implanted in the soul;
your love shall be our strength and stay,
while ages roll.
We praise you, living God!
We praise your holy name;
who was, and is, and is to be,
fore'er the same!
